I do! It's my favorite chill out activity. I pick a podcast i like - currently I'm listening to Fall of Rome and on episode 20, which is about the Anglo-Saxons and they immigrated to england and changed it forever, also how a dude writing centuries later about them was FURIOUS that these barbarians came into England Then while I listen I play Pixel Puzzles Ultimate which is my favorite jigsaw puzzle game. It's not very "good" (try Animated Puzzles for a good one) as the pictures are all over the place and it lacks a bunch of features but I like snapping pieces to the grid and getting achievements. Do any of you do this? Or have other similar ways to chill out? |

I recently finished GM2 and it was nowhere near as good, but the DLC looks promising and I can't wait to pick it up. I don't know if I could do Talos Principle while podcasting, it's so thinky. |

StrixNebulosa posted:Yeah!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/935880/Glass_Masquerade_2_Illusions/ I already did my first one! Thank u for bringing this to my attention! I think picrosses are my favourite mindless puzzle, but I recently got Murder by Numbers, which tries to combine phoenix wright and picross but it just makes me mad that there's all this exposition between Picross puzzles when I play

I really like a game called Hexcells Infinite on steam, it's a logic puzzle game that's a cross between sudoku and minesweeper. https://store.steampowered.com/app/304410/Hexcells_Infinite/ And when I play I like to put on music I've never listened to before. I always had a different taste in music compared to my friends and schoolmates and all, so I never listened to radiohead or Iron maiden or rush growing up. A week ago or two ago I listened to My Bloody Valentine for the first time and posted about it in the yob, I can't believe I spent my whole life not knowing about Loveless... |

My music playlist du jour is Sowulo (nordic folk acoustic stuff), Beyonce (Blow) and random stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y61xASw1m4U I love Hexcells, even though I suck at it. Have you played Demoncrawl? That's my favorite minesweeper but modern thing. |

I really like picross but I mostly do them in silence to help with migraines. Next time I have a podcast on I'll try to do a picross then for the "augmented experience."

Mario's Super Picross, originally released only in Japan on the snes, is one of this month's free games for Switch Online members. Picross + true crime podcast The Generation Why is my go to podcast puzzle combo. Highly recommend both
